Signify has been announced as the connected lighting partner to illuminate up to 15 of London's iconic bridges by 2022.

Signify won the contract to supply its Interact Landmark system and Philips Color Kinetics LED luminaires to light up the bridges with dynamic, artistic lighting effects via its centrally managed software.
